Photography week at soundadviceblog.com

I’ve received an awful lot of questions about photography lately as people gear up for vacations and look to but new equipment.  I am also working on a new photography-related website that should be launching in a few months, one that will be rather unique on the web.  With that in mind I am going […]

Posting to resume tomorrow

Hello everyone, sorry I have been out of touch and let the site sit for a while.  You may have heard about the snowstorm that hit us in the east… long story short, I got hurt and have been spending much of my time on my back trying to get back to 100%.  The past […]

New Recommended Products Pages

New Recommended Products Pages
Technology and products offerings change very quickly and it was very difficult to maintain Recommended Products pages here while keeping them relevant and timely.  I am in the process of moving them offsite to have them hosted on Amazon, which makes it much easier to keep the content fresh and relevant […]

Setup guides coming soon

One thing I have learned through my correspondence with readers is people are very confused when it comes to setting up the latest home theater gear.  I’ve received emails from readers owning systems costing $20,000 or more that were set up by professional installers, and the installers didn’t even tell the new owners how to […]

JD Power Award and AT&T U-Verse

Correction on JD Power Award: In a recent column I touted Verizon FIOS as the current JD Power Award winner and encouraged readers to check JD Power to see how service providers rate in their area.  I should have specified that Verizon FIOS was the award winner for my own region, the East.  As 10/01/08, […]
